Jeanie is offering users a new and easy way to manage and collaborate in teams. Our team has focused on making working online simple by supporting a limited but powerful feature set, and by combining useful apps in a single browser tab. The result is a secure environment where communicating and coordinating is a breeze, and where you can get things done right away.
We have a strong privacy oriented value base, and as such, we try to get out of the user's way as much as possible. Additionally, we do not sell or capture the user's data. Jeanie is not AD-based, and as such, our monthly price may be a bit higher than free. But then again, it's the service that is the product, not you, the user.
Enjoy speed, privacy and a fun workday with Jeanie App!

merlot aero is a cloud based airline operations management solution that streamlines and optimizes aircraft and crew utilization for airlines of any operations type and size. Our system is transforming the air transport industry by streamlining information technology departments and allowing collaboration anywhere, anytime from an Internet-enabled device.
With cloud computing, issues associated with traditional airline operations applications are eliminated because you're not managing hardware and software—that's the responsibility of an experienced vendor. Airlines only pay for what they need, upgrades are automatic, and scaling up or down is easy. Cloud-based applications can be up and running in days or weeks, and they cost less. With a cloud app, you just open a browser, log in, customize the app, and start using it.
Cost is one of the key drivers for airlines choosing to be in the cloud. Airlines that are making money and aggressively growing are the airlines that are looking at every cent they spend. Another major benefit of cloud-based products is the ability to rapidly deploy the software in a matter of days, for less cost that going through an IT procurement process.
Social, mobile and cloud technology are impacting on enterprise computing. However, the technologies aren't just having a big effect independently; they are converging and providing airlines with new opportunities to deliver information and collaborate company-wide. The mutual benefits of social interaction and mobility together empower individuals as they interact with information on whatever devices they want in a manner that is new and fresh in mission-critical software.
By switching to merlot.aero airlines can expect to have accurate and up-to-date information, on demand wherever they are whatever industry we are in.
